Damage Done at aranbury.

OpSClh1 correspondence
GRANBURY, TEX, Oct. 10-A heavier
rain fell yesterday than at any period
in the last six years. A good, ground
soaking rain fell Friday night and most
of Saturday, filling the ground with al
the water that could be absorbed. Sum
day morning gradual ram set in and in
an hour it was falling thick ard fast,
which lasted between three and four
hours. Every creek and branch was
swelled &c the capacity Of it's banks. and
to-day the Brazos river is as high as she has
been for several years, and continues to
rise. Mr.. 4. P. Gord0n's gin property,
situated on an iele near the branch north
of town was surrounded with the food
and for several hours il
was thought the property would
be swept away. Had it not
been for the untiring efforts of some of
our business men every bale of cotton on
the yard would have been washed tito the
Brszos. Men worked in wafer five and
six feet deep for hours saving bales OF
cotton By tying them with heavy rope to
the gin house, trees, etc, saving every
bale Of cotton. After slow rain all

are going up rapidly and wood is in active
demand.
Considerable damage was done to the
Fort Worth and Rio Grande by the heavy
rains. A bridge between the depot and
the END of the track was washed out and
all the timbsrs went into the BRACES. The
heaviest damage done was q washout
on the east side of the Brszos, which will
take two or three days to repair. Mr..
Joe Scully, with a gang Of workmen, are
repairing the damages. The excursion
ISIS who went to Fort Worth Sunday
were conveyed from the washout into
town in hacks at 8p'clock. No other
washes or damages are reported except
the ones near town. Our people are
gladly surprised at so little damage being
done the road otter such enormous rains
All damages will be repaired and trains
running into the depot in short time
Considering the amount Of rain that fell
altogether the damages were very small
and the road will get of with small ex-
peDse. Trains will run on time to the
Brazos bridge until repairs are completed.

The caution of the paternal govern
ment goes far towards restoring public
confidence in that effete institution.
The agent for the Indians at LaPointe,
Wis, writes the Indian bureau that q
few days since he paid visit to the Lac
Oour d'Oreilles reservation, and that
while there he was entrusted by the In
dians with $S0,67S, which he brought
back with him and deposited in the Ash
land National bank. He asked If there
was any Improperly in that act, and If
SO what he had better do with the money.
The Indian bureau Immediately wrote q
letter to this agent asking how he came
in possession of the money; whether it
was given voluntarily or taken from the
Indians. That's the way to do it. III
this trusted agent OF the government
has gone over to the reservation and
knocked down the Cour dOreilles tribe
and picked Its pocket it is entirely pro-
per for the Indian bureau to know it.
II he is waltzing over the plains Of Wis
consin in the guise of q highwayman it
Is time for him to confess. We are glad
to know that the bureau has it's eye tas-
tened upon these Indian agents. 1t is
our privste belief that they are fully
as remorseless as the homesteaders who
burglarize the government domain.

prominent physicians OF the Salisbury

In dressing him for burial they found

When the grave was opened to-day
nothing was found except few OF the
lsrgest bones, some coffin nails and q
small remnant of one plank. The physi-
clans in charge reported: I'VE found
some OF the bones only, and these in

The latest information regarding the
Duluth railroad comes by way of the
Sioux Falls Press of the 9th inst, which
says:
The committee on the guaranty fund
put in another day of good work yester-
day. They made some. good hauls and
and succeeded IN swelling the fund to
$4,000. The people are taking hold of the
matter very kindly and there is now no
doubt that it is o go, 80 far as the wishes
of the people of Sioux Falls are con-
cerned. The city can congratulate itself
on this outcome of her efforts for surely
the advantages accrue to her through
the coming of the Manitoba road will be
worth more thar ten times the price she
will have to pay for them.
Director Oorson last evening received
from headquarters the profile showing
the exact survey of the Willmar and
Sioux Falls, and with it came directions
for him to proceed Immediately to pro-
cure the right of-way. It there is any
one who has surmised that perhaps the
news regarding Sioux Falls securing
connection with the Manitoba was too
good to be true, this information ought
to satisfy him. The practically unani-
| nous manner in which Sioux Falls has
arisen to the emergency presented has
been accepted by the company as g
guaranty that its request will be fully
complied with, and so it has ordered
negotiations for right-of-way at once.

part of the best farmers of the county
already have good wells or are working

In the annual report of the national
commissioner OF education for 1sS4-5,
just issued, the commissioner OF educa-
ton gives some figures which Dakota
need not be ashamed of. The comission-
or finds that Dakota territory leads
twenty-two of the states in the amount
it expends for educational purposes.
He also finds that Dakota has school
house for every 151 people within its
boundaries. In the proportion Of school
houses to people Dakota surpasses, so
the commissioner says in his official re-
port, the states Of Kansas, New Hamp-
shire, Minnesota, Indiana, Wisconsin,
Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Kentucky,
Ohio, Illinois, South Carolina, Pennsyl-
yania, Tennessee, Colorado, Conneoti-
cut, New York, North Carolina, Arkan.
sas, New Jersey and Texas. The commits
sioner officially reports that in that por-
tion of our territory known as south
Dakota there is one school house for
every 132 people and in that portion o!
our territory known as north Dakota
there is one school house for every 202
people. By this showing the proposed
state of south Dakota
aurpasses probably every state
and territory in America in its common
school facilities. In value Of permanent
school property Dakota oatranks fifteen
states and in the number OF teachers
employed fourteen states. The showing
of south Dakota alone would be much
greater than this. These are oficia.
facts and figures. They exhibit an in
fallible test of fitness for self-govern
ment. They represent the intelligence
of q people denied the privilege OF sell
government ins comparison with the in.
telligence of peoples long ago accorded
the privilege OF self government. And
yet the drag net of craftsmanship il
hauled through the political slums Of
the states and from the catch the gov

ritory are selected. We bow our head
